We are flying in to Orlando the night before our Wonder sailing on Sunday.  Should we take the shuttle from the airport or try to get Uber/Lyft to the port?

We deliberately chose 12:30, to give us time to drive there, but also to get to our room ASAP. (which, hopefully, will be open by 1:00)

The fun starts when you get on board, and at least it's not 2:30.  Don't stress trying to Rope Drop the ship. 

We will be there!  From WV, this is our third cruise,  the longest cruise we've taken, a full 7 days.  5 more days!!

We are sailing on a last minute trip on Wonder n 29 days, and we checked the shows and they were all Sold Out.  We didn't see that booking early was an option last year.  Is this new?

Any tips?  We have a check in tme of 11:00, do we go to the shows venue and try to get on a stand by list?

Ok, quick update, If you add your set sail pass to your Apple Wallet, the barcode at the bottom shows your room number.  the last 4 digits past the dash.

bummer, not only are we not conntected, he is in th Aft and I am in the tippy tip front.  I'll give 'em a call and see if we can pay to be closer and if we can swing it.  Still, not a deal breaker, it's better to be on the ship than not at all!!

Of connected rooms are important, I would have paid the extra $200, I think the odds of it happening with GTY rate are very slim. 
 

fingers crossed 

I know, it was just so last minute, and with Christmas looming, an extra $200 felt like a deal breaker.    I will definitely plan better in the future.  Luckily we don't have babies, and we can hand off our 6 year old like a hot potato.

All 'ya alls know any two adjoining rooms with their balcony partition open is preferable in many, many ways to some "connected rooms" designation, right???

I'd LOVE to have side by side balcony rooms.  We had a spacious balcony last May and it was so great.  I almost cried when i saw the interior room tour.  But ditching the kids was not an option and we prioitized two bathrooms over a beautiful view.  

And we booked this as a spur of the moment trip, when the price hit $141 for 4 nights, we just pulled the trigger.  I hope being on the boat at all outweighs the cramped rooms.

Which sailing are you on if you don't mind. I am 41 days out and did my check in literally at midnight of the 45th day out, i currently cant see my setsail pass or luggage tags, which i have seen is an issue for a lot of people on the boards. 

We are doing October 31- Nov 4 on Freedom.  27 days out.  our sail pass updated to Deck 8, but stateroom still says Gty.  The luggage tags are still blank.   I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling to see if it changes.

Fingers and toes crossed, but we will have fun either way.  Just take turns with our 6 year old, who is a handful.

We just booked a last minute cruise.  We requested connected rooms, which were available, but we went with the Gnty room instead of paying $200 extra to choose our own.

Check in was easy to do on the app, but Does anyone know how long till they assign our room?  And can we request connected rooms if they aren't?
